Microbial control
Antimicrobial agent
Definition
The following terms are commonly employed in
connection with antimicrobial agents and there uses
Biocide
A general term describing a chemical agent usually
abroad spectrum that inactivates microorganism
Bacteriostatics
A specific term referring to the property by which
biocide is able to inhibit bacterial multiplication;
multiplication resumes upon removal of agent
Bactericidal
A specific term referring to the property by which a
biocide is able to kill bacteria, bactericidal action differs
from bacteriostatic only in being irreversible the killed
organism can no longer reproduce even after being
removed from contact with agent
Sterilization
A physical or chemical process that completely destroys
or removes all microbial life including spores, e.g.
incineration, certain gases, exposure to ionizing
radiation, some liquid chemical and filtration.
Pasteurization
Is the use of heat at a temperature sufficient to inactivate
important pathogenic organism in liquid such as water or
milk, but at a temperature below that needed to insure
sterilization , for example hating milk at TEP. 74c for 3
2
Disinfectant
Products or biocides used to kill microorganism on
inanimate objects or surfaces, it can be sporostatic but
are not necessary sporicidal
Septic
Characterized by the presence of pathogenic microbes in
living tissue
Antiseptic
A biocide or product that destroys or inhibits the growth
of microorganism in or on living tissue e.g. skin, vaginal
tract (to reduce the number normal flora and pathogenic
contaminant)
Aseptic
Characterized by the absence of pathogenic microbes
Preservation
The prevention of multiplication of microorganism in
formulated product including pharmaceutical

Physical agent
Heat
Application of heat is the simplest means of sterilization
Materials. A temperature of 100c will kill all but spore
forms of bacteria within 2-3 minutes in laboratory scale;
culture a temperature of 121 c for 15 minutes will kill
spores by steams e.g. autoclave (steam moisturized)
Flash autoclave witch is widely used in operating room
often use saturated steam at a temperature of 134c for 3
minutes, air removed before and after the sterilization
cycle so that metal instrument may be available rapidly.
Gas:
A number of articles particularly certain plastic and
lensed instruments that are damaged or destroy by
autoclaving can be sterilized with ethylene oxide,
Ethylene oxide is inflammable and potentially explosive
gas. 10% of this gas along with carbon dioxide at 50 to
60 c for 4 to 6 hours under controlled conditions of
humidity. Aeration don after sterilization to remove the
gas
It is danger to use car must be taken
But it is effective for sterilizing heat labile device such as
artificial heart valve.

Ultraviolet light
In the wavelength 240 to 280 nm is absorbed by nucleic
acids and causes genetic damage including the formation
of the thymidine dimmers , it is limited by its poor ability
to penetration., it is used for sterilization of air like in
critical hospital sites and in the laboratory , it can cause
skin and eye damage so protection should be taken.
Ionizing radiation
Carries far greater energy than uv light. It cases direct
damage to DNA and produces toxic free radicals and
hydrogen peroxides from water within the microbial
cells. Cathode rays and gamma rays from cobalt -60 are
widely used in industrial processes including the
sterilization of many disposable surgical supplies such as
gloves plastic syringes, specimens containers, some
foodstuffs,
Killed organism may remains morphologically intact and
stainable
Filtration
Both live and dead organism can be removed from liquid
by positive or negative pressure filtration. Membrane
filters usually composed of cellulose esters (cellulose
acetate) are commercially available with porosity 0.005
to 1 um. For removal of bacteria a pore size of 0.2 um is
effective because filters act not only mechanically but
electrostatic adsorption of particles to their surface.
Filtration is used for sterilization of large volumes of
fluid especially those containing heat labile component
such as serum. L for inanimate surface
Alcohol
the alcohol (ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol and n-
propanol) are protein denaturants that rapidly kill
vegetative bacteria when applied as aqueous solution in
the range of 70-90% alcohol. They are in active against
bacterial spores and many viruses. Alcohol requires some
water for antibacterial effectiveness.*
Halogens
Phenolics
Phenol: One of the first effective disinfectants was the
primary agent employed by Lister in this antiseptic
surgical procedure. It is a potent protein denaturant and
bactericidal agent. Substitution in the ring structure of
phenol have substantially improved activity and have
provided a range of phenols and cresols that are the most
effective environmental decontaminants available for use
in hospital hygiene. It is too toxic to skin and tissues,
they are the active ingredient in many mouth wash and
on throat preparations.
Hexachlorophene: is primarily bacteriostatic,
incorporated into a soap, it is skin decontaminant with
effect against normal flora and gram positive bacteria.
Chlorohexidine: it replaced the previous disinfectant as
routine hand and skin disinfectant and for other optical
application it is great bactericidal without its toxicity it
act on gram negative and positive bacteria.
Peroxogens
Hydrogen peroxides has broad spectrum activity against
viruses bacteria yeasts and bacterial spores, sporicidal
activity require higher concentration (10-30%) of h2o2
and longer contact items
Antimicrobial agents
Antibiotics
Naturally occurring or synthetic organic compounds
which inhibit or destroy selective bacteria, generally at
low concentration
Antimicrobial agents:
Clinically effective antimicrobial agents all exhibit
selective toxicity toward the parasite rather than the host,
a characteristic that differentiate them from the
disinfectant.
Selective toxicity is explained by action on microbial
process or structure that differs from those of mammalian
cells. e.g. Some of agents act on the cell wall synthesis,
Some antimicrobial agent as penicillin are essentially
non toxic to host, unless hypersensitivity has developed.
Aminoglycosides have a much therapeutic index which
have a certain toxicity to host so monitoring the dose and
blood levels.
Bactericidal
Bacteriostatics
Fungicidal fungistatic
